| Summary: |
ICCROM is pleased to announce the second training course on Conservation
of Built Heritage in Rome. ICCROM has been a pioneer in organizing
courses in heritage conservation since 1965 including the Architectural
Conservation Course (ARC) and many other regular courses and long
term programmes. In designing this new course, ICCROM has drawn from
this experience and considered the most recent international trends
and thinking related to conservation of the built heritage, including
buildings, sites, historic centres and cultural landscapes.
The course aims at serving a wide range of conservation practitioners
and decision makers by placing technical issues within the broader
conservation context in order to link them to planning and management
concerns. The first part of the course will consist of an overview
of the different approaches and of key concepts in built heritage
conservation. The second part, focusing on an integrated approach
to conservation and management of heritage, will provide an opportunity
for the participants to view conservation concerns within a broader
strategic and planning framework capturing not only technical but
also the cultural, environmental and sustainability issues. The
third part of the course will focus more closely on technical conservation
issues including identification of conservation problems and their
solutions.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the course, participants will have a better
understanding of critical processes in conservation in order to
apply them at the macro/micro levels; improve their strategic planning
skills relevant to heritage management; expand their awareness,
knowledge, and understanding of current principles and practices
in conservation of the built heritage; and enhance skills, judgments,
and experience.
